Often we push ourselves to our limits to achieve personal or professional milestones that we believe will signal success. With our eyes on the prize, we may fail to realize situations where our self-worth actually outweighs the shining accomplishment we’re working so hard to achieve. What do we do when we’re faced with the choice between winning for external validation or winning for ourselves? In this episode, Alma Cooper - reigning Miss USA, U.S. Army 1LT, Stanford postgraduate student and marathon runner - joins Dr. Patrice for a candid conversation on her journey to the crown and what she learned about her own character, values and beliefs in the life-changing year that followed.
